A BACKMANN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

BABY-ENVELOP.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 29, 1921.

Application filed March 20, 1920. Serial No. 367,528.

1 n, county of Kings, and State of New ork, have invented a new andImproved Baby-E'nvelop, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates to infant wrappings, and has for an object theprovision of a wrapping which may be placed around an infant whencarrying it from place to place.

Another object of this invention is to rovide a wrapping of the classindicated w ich will keep the infant warm in the coldest of weather.Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part ofthis specification, in which it is understood that the drawingillustrates only one form of the invention, and in which' Figure 1 is aperspective view showing my improved wrapping about to be p aced aroundthe infant.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the wrapping in a folded position.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the outside of the wrapping in an openposition.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the method of securingthe various flaps in place.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view showmg the lower tying stringsfor main--.

taining the flaps in place.

Referrin to the accompanying drawing by numera s, 10 indicates'the backof the wrapper upon which the infant is laid as shown in Fig. 1. A sideflap 11 is formed on each edge of the back 10, said flap being of suchsize as to meet in the center and be secured together by means of uppertying strings 12 and lower tying strings 13. head flap 14 is formed onthe upper end of the back 10 and a front 15 is formed on the lowerend'of said back. A front flap 16 is formed on each side of the front 15and said front is adapted to be folded upwardly over a the infant underthe flaps 11 w ile the front flaps 16 are adapted to be tucked aroundthe side of the infant so as to keep it warm. In order to revent thefront 15 from slipping down w on the infant is carried around in thearms, a loop 17 is secured to the outslde upper end of the front 15 andwhen in a folded position as shown in Figs. 2, t, and 5, the upper tyingstrings 12 pass through this loop and are tied together, thuseffectually preventing the front 15 from slipping from under the flaps11. This loop 17 is essential to the wrapping since said wrapping is tobe used principally while carrying the infant in the arms, although itmay also be used as bedding.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated exampleconstitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limitmyself strictly to the mechanical details herein illustrated, sincemanifestly the same can be considerably varied without departure fromthe spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In an infant wrapping, a back, a side flap formed on each side ofsaid back, a head flap formed on one end of said back, a front formed onthe end of said back opposite the head flap, said front being adapted tobe folded over the infant, a front fiap formed on each edge of saidfront ada ted to be tucked around the sides of the in ant,

a plurality of tying stringsassociated with said side flaps adapted tosecure said side flaps together over the front, and means for preventingsaid front from slipping from under said side flaps.
